I saw from another forum that "information system" is 15.3%. Does anyone know the % of information system from last year?
I'm the one who posted that over on the Businessweek board. The only way to find that information is to scour the old board and hope someone posted those stats. I haven't done that. Judging by reading this forum, IS/IT is a big field for people seeking an MBA. Don't be surprised because this is not new information. Or at least I hope it isn't for your sake. If you look around this board, you'll see people saying things like demographic: MIT (Male Indian Techie). This is very common. Here is your profile:

You only mentioned the Kung Fu club as an EC. In 12 years, they're probably going to want more and hopefully you have more. That said, I think you have a decent chance as long as you wrote really good essays. When you are 12 years out of undergrad, you need really good reasons for seeking an MBA at that age. If you presented those in a sensible manor as well as demonstrated leadership potential, I think you have a shot. GOOD LUCK! We're all rooting for you!
